Comrades, I am your El Presidente, reporting live from my underground bunker, where I am hiding from the American CIA and Tony Khan’s lawyers.
“It is I, your El Presidente, reporting to you live from my underground bunker beneath a piñata factory in Acapulco, where I am currently hiding from both the American CIA and Tony Khan’s lawyers.”
This marks a significant moment for All Elite Wrestling, as they announce their first-ever event in Mexico, AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, which will take place on June 18 at the historic Arena México.
- • The event will be a special episode of AEW Dynamite and will air live on TBS in the United States, Fox Sports Mexico locally, and stream on Max for fans who prefer to watch on their smartphones.
- • Tickets for this historic event will go on sale on Saturday, April 26 at 10 AM local time via AEWTix.com and Ticketmaster.com.mx.
- • This partnership between AEW and CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre) reminds me of my own failed attempt to form an alliance with Fidel Castro to create a wrestling promotion called “Revolutionary Championship Wrestling.”
The announcement of AEW coming to Arena México is significant, comrades, as this venue is considered the cathedral of lucha libre. Built in 1956, it has hosted countless legendary Mexican wrestlers throughout the decades, including El Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Máscaras. Now, it will welcome the stars of AEW to its hallowed grounds.
- Historic Significance
- This marks the first time an AEW event has ever been held in Mexico, and your El Presidente could not be more excited if they announced the nationalization of oil companies!
- Partnership with CMLL
- This collaboration opens the door for further crossover matches between AEW and CMLL talent, offering fans the opportunity to see their favorite wrestlers compete in new and exciting matches.
- Timing and Expansion
- The event coincides with AEW’s growing international interest in their product, allowing the company to capitalize on the global reach of professional wrestling.
- Power of the Working Class
- This move by AEW demonstrates the power of the working class coming together across national boundaries, uniting fans from different countries in appreciation of the art of simulated combat.

I must admit, I am thrilled about this announcement, comrades. The dream matches alone would make even the most hardened socialist weep tears of joy!
I have already registered to become an AEW Insider and encourage fans to do the same by visiting allelitewrestling.com/aew-insider. I have assured Tony Khan that the occasional sounds of political prisoners are merely enthusiastic fans practicing their chants, just like at WWE events!
This marks another significant step in AEW’s international expansion, following their successful shows in Canada and the United Kingdom. Who knows where they might go next? Perhaps they will consider my invitation to hold an episode of Collision in my underground bunker?
Until more details emerge about the card for AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, wrestling fans can only speculate about what matches we might see. But one thing is certain – June 18 will be a historic night for both AEW and lucha libre!
This is your El Presidente, signing off!
